2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[ManlyOz]

So Hard to get out that league, as we found out. Need to make it like the English leagues. Watched a lot of Raith this year and they have been brilliant, odds against any team in current set up.

[blackpoolhibs]

I don’t think one game should ever define someone’s managerial career, he’s had a fantastic season with them, there is no doubt of that.

I know, i've just got a real dislike of that man for no other logical reason as he signed for the huns on a pre contract and tried to hide it for as long as he could.

[easty]

They really need to change the format of the Premiership play offs. So weighted in favour of the Premiership team (albeit I think County would have had far too much for Raith regardless in this instance).

I think it's really tough for the 3rd/4th place teams, but Raith coming 2nd in the Championship played less games in May than Ross County did.

Raith played on the 3rd, 14th, 17th, 23rd, 26th.
Ross County played on 4th, 11th, 15th, 19th, 23rd, 26th.

[easty]

Agree.

Relegate bottom two.

Promote top of championship.
2 v 5
3 v 4 home and away
Winners play in one off game in neutral venue. And go up.
Works in England.

Stop pissing about trying to be different.

I'm not in favour of 2 down automatic in a 12 team league.

I'm also not convinced a team finishing in 5th place of a 10 team league should have any chance of promotion at the end of the season. That would've been Morton this season, who were only 3 points above the relegation playoff.

Do it for Don Leeds :)

Thanks 👍

[Bridge hibs]

I think/hope today rules out Ian Murray for the job. :greengrin

He looked very passive today, did he actually leave the bench other than at half time & full time ?

[Donegal Hibby]

It did end up to be a stroll for County due to them having abit more quality though last year there wasn't that much of a difference between the premier and championship team.

Honestly think that Raith would have had a much better chance if they had got St Johnstone rather than County too .

[B.H.F.C]

So Hard to get out that league, as we found out. Need to make it like the English leagues. Watched a lot of Raith this year and they have been brilliant, odds against any team in current set up.

I thought it was just a big difference in quality between the two, nothing to do with too many games or anything this time round.

Championship will be up for grabs next year but feel the gap between it and the Premiership is going to be getting bigger.

[Donegal Hibby]

Cmon Leeds 🏳️

[Pretty Boy]

They wouldn't which sort of proves my point about who it favours.

That would've been Morton this season, who were only 3 points above the relegation playoff.I would expand the league over and above that. Play each other home and away. Dump the stupid split.

However, I'm trying to work with what we have. The league needs freshened up so 2 up and 2 down each year would be fine.

[He's here!]

Indeed. A play-off defeat doesn't suddenly mean he's garbage. Same as SDG. Lauded after the Motherwell game. Then deemed hopeless for not beating Livi.

Come on Saints!

1-0 Southampton

Aye it was. Armstrong took it well though

[EdinMike]

Woeful defending ! Plenty time for Leeds though !

[J-C]

They won't but it should be 2 down,1 automatic promotion and then a play off final like they have in England to determine the other team promoted, as has been said, heavily weighted for the Premier teams.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Dirty Dirty Southampton









:)

[Lago]

He did

[lugz]

Southampton looking comfortable after a good start from Leeds. Shocking defending for the goal.

Struggling to see where Leeds get a goal from, saints have kept Summerville quiet.

Gnonto off for James get 2 wingers both sides is my guess up against it as be open at the back chasing the goal

[easty]

I'm waiting on a Joel Piroe shot on target for Leeds for £117.50, he's barely been in he game though

[cabbageandribs1875]

should be game there

[lugz]

Leeds not scoring here, if anything saints will catch them on the break later the game goes.

[B.H.F.C]

Leeds been poor here. Lacking in ideas.

Nobody seems to have it in them to make something happen in the final third.

Lots of passing, all a bit safe. Someone’s going to have to try to make something happen. Take a man on or get a cross in.

that's the game gone, he wouldn't get a game for Stirling Uni


prove me wrong jaydon, go on

Summerville off is wild, yes he’s been quiet but the lads a star one of the few players who can create something out of nothing.

Leeds have absolutely nothing up front here, loads of possession but doing nothing with it, Southampton are very well organised.

[Hiber-nation]

Used to love the play off final. This has been garbage.

and yet again he made the first change on 65 mins when changes should have been made at HT, he's a very stubborn man

[cabbageandribs1875]

wow that was so unlucky for Dan James

[cabbageandribs1875]

awk rutter gtf man for the love of god

Southampton not even been particularly good. Leeds just looked so unlike scoring, with the exception of that on shot from James.

Russell Martin owns him


Leeds would just be straight back down again anyway

I fear this season will be the start of an ongoing trend where all promoted teams go straight back down, only 1 I can see breaking that is maybe Leicester.

[Donegal Hibby]

Disappointed for Leeds who have played some excellent football all season . All credit to Southampton who took their chance when it came and were defensively brilliant. Proper team performance.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i know he can pull one out of the bag but there's been so many games where he's absolutely dreadful, Greedy and when it's not going well for him his frustration can get right on top of him, wouldn't surprise me if he was taken off down to him already being on a yellow card, last thing Leeds needed was going down to ten

[cabbageandribs1875]

Think I read somewhere that there's a possibility that they'll start with a points deduction due to financial fair play.

Do some Hibs Fans actually still hate Leeds for a game that was over fifty years ago.

:confused:

[Puddocky]

Because Atlanta won this, if Dort win and atlanta don't make top 4 hearts straight into group stages unfortunately


Having a look at the table Atalanta 2 points behind Juventus and Bologna but they have 2 games to play against their 1.

Bologna play on Friday night so hopefully they lose, Atalanta win on Sunday and this nonsense is all done and dusted!

Bologna lost on Friday and Atalanta won today. Atalanta will finish at least 4th and could get 3rd if they win their final game. Can those that understand this better than me confirm where this leaves Hearts?

[Willis1875]

They have a history of performing the dark arts - not just one game. Watch a few videos of when Don Revie was in manager there and a lot of that is still there.

[Bostonhibby]

:confused:I do, but it's a lot more recent than the excellent examples above.

I was in hospitality when we thumped sevco in the 2016 Scottish cup final and had the dubious pleasure of sitting in front of a group of Yorkshire types who were guests of a Scottish business.

Quite a few hun ties and guy behind me had a leeds/sevco pin badge on.

The phrase 2 cheeks of the same arse often arises in Scottish football and this was the perfect cross border example. High opinion of themselves, not matched by where they are today.

I’m not opposed to Killie having a good European run (within reason).

We need the coefficient points to come from somewhere and I sure as hell don’t want it to be hearts.

I’d also prefer to wasn’t the old firm which leaves Killie and St Mirren.

[Halmyre Hibee]

Nice to see St Ettiene promoted. Had a wee soft spot for them since they lost the European Cup final in 1976 to Bayern Munich at Hampden and blamed the square goalposts which they hit twice. The fact they played in green made them my favourite French team at the time.

Never, ever in doubt, but one of those games where you say ‘well that’s 90 minutes of my life I won’t get back”.

As expected Boyler was named on the bench along with a few other regulars and didn’t come on.

He will play in the final qualifier on Tuesday in Perth against Palestine though.
